In this work, plain and cost-effective electrospinning approach chased by oximation method was employed for fabrication of PAN nanofibers decorated with Ag3PO4 nanocomposite (Ag3PO4/PAN) for elevated photocatalytic and antimicrobial performance. Primarily, oximation process was able to grow anchoring site for spontaneous reaction of silver (Ag+) ions with phosphate (PO4-) ions for spontaneous reaction over PAN nanofiber. Among the various optimized samples, Ag3PO4/PAN composite nanofiber with Ag+ concentration of 0.05 M exhibited the excellent photocatalytic and antibacterial activity. Finally, this work provides new opportunity in the fabrication of various carbon fibers based nanocomposite that would be relatively suitable for photodegradation and antibacterial activities.
